Danny Roman will have to wait a little longer to defend his title, as he was forced to pull out of his upcoming fight with mandatory contender Murodjon Akhmadaliev on September 13 due to a left shoulder injury.
"My plan is to rest and take it easy," said Roman, who would have made the fifth defense of his WBA title that he won in knockout fashion two years ago over Shun Kubo. "I want to fight Akhmadaliev before the year is over. We'll have a better idea for a date as soon as I get medical clearance to resume training."
Roman was examined by two Los Angeles-based specialists, revealing tendinitis in his left shoulder. He has been ordered to suspend all boxing activity for a period of four to six weeks.
Thompson Boxing and co-promoter Matchroom Boxing are in the early stages of figuring out a new date for the championship fight.
